@daringfireball you talk about walking everywhere in Philly on your show, do you not see speeding and the problems it creates. https://www.nhtsa.gov/press-releases/speed-campaign-speeding-fatalities-14-year-high

@Transportist My opinions on this are not in contradiction at all. I strongly favor pedestrian-oriented street and intersection design, speed bumps, low speed limits in cities, congestion pricing in big cities, and the repurposing of street parking for other uses. I'd also be far less opposed to a mandate that cars simply cannot exceed posted speed limits, especially within cities.

This EU law just annoys drivers, though. It doesn't prevent drivers from going as fast as the car will go.

@gruber so do I read you correctly that you are in favor of (or just less opposed to) mandatory speed limiters in cars? (With or without emergency override?)
